I think it’s a larger chance than most people think. Yes it’s a first offense but it’s not an offense that should be taken lightly. He has a history of crime now after being found guilty of fraud and civilly liable for sexual assault(rape).

I see no reason for the judge to go easy on him. He was a PITA and didn’t follow gag orders, he’s guilty of a degree of fraud we haven’t seen in a long time, and that fraud impacted an election of the United States in a very large way, leading to uninformed voters and hid a scandal from the public.

The judge should bury him. At least give him 2-3 months in jail. If this comes without jail time, it will be a huge injustice to everyone. To know that you can lie to the American voting public and commit fraud from the White House and get away with a slap on the wrist would do great damage to this country (nothing new tho). Hope the judge does the right thing.

See how far down this ladder any other citizen comes before facing actual consequences.
